I am so sick of dieting. I am happy with the increased ability to be physically active and really actually enjoy at least walking or jogging daily.... but I am so sick of dieting!

Apparently my partner of 18 months has told me I am crankier since dieting and no doubt!! I used to use food to moderate my mood and I don't do that anymore. Anyhow the point of todays post is simple today I feel like chocolate or a cupcake!

    So have one? Speaking as a fellow Whittle, if you deny yourself the chances are much higher that you will fail... so make a space for it and have one. Diet is not a thing to pick up and put down, it's just what you eat every day....As always, i'll have a pizza tomorrow :) and I won't feel guilty about it.

    AGREED!!! Have a cupcake once in a while LOG IT and then continue on in your healthy ways!
    you did not gain weight by eating one cupcake, it was many decisions over time. Vice versa will be the same...

    So have a piece of chocolate or a cupcake!

    IMO~nothing should be off limits, do you expect to go the rest of your life without eating certain foods you enjoy??


    Edit: I have peanut M & M's almost every day!!

    eat it! Just budget for it in your calories.

    I have a BIG snickers ice cream bar budgeted into my calories today so I can have dessert! :-)

    I'm with the previous posters - get a cupcake! Just get one that is high quality and enjoy it, don't get a crappy one that will leave you unsatisfied.

    that is why dieting is not the best way to go, do a life style change to healthier food. Don't deny your self anything just have them in moderation and be aware of your calorie intake with them. One cupcake won't break your "diet" but eating a bunch will not be good.

    Work it in to your calories for the day and have one! Consider it a life style change and not the dreaded 4 letter word. It's not terrible to treat yourself to stuff like that, as long as you work hard and make it fit into your overall plan. Some days I splurge and go over but I get right back on track the next day.

    So.... eat a freaking cupcake and quit dieting. Eat within your cals and all is good... I've not been cranky at all and in fact have been ahppier than ever. I eat enough, I exercise and changes are happening. The only thing I've really changed is portion size and more healthy food...

    If you can make it fit in your calorie goal, eat one. You could cut it in half, eat half of it. You could even cut it in half and take off half the frosting on that half. Or take the frosting off completely. Or eat the whole cupcake but half the frosting. Or just eat the whole damn thing.

    You can still eat desserts, just in moderation.

    Eat one! I made some with my son the other night. I will say that I enjoyed eating one with him! You can eat anything in moderation! Don't torture yourself!

    Have one! You can't deny yourself treats for the rest of your life. One cupcake isn't too bad. If you make them yourself they're generally better too.

    I've got the Hummingbird bakery recipe book and sometimes make cupcakes if we're going to a party or something, and I eat one. If I make them just for us I don't put frosting on them.

    So have a cupcake. Just don't have 5 or 6 cupcakes all at once.

    ETA: If you like to eat cupcakes every day but don't have the calories, you could make mini-cupcakes using a mini-muffin pan.
